I urge you to support the renewal of the Issue 6 Extension levy. My family has 122 years as 4-H advisors in Hardin County. Bob has 55 years, Bonnie had 33 years, Jerry had 22 years and Jack had 12 years. We believe in what 4-H does for young people.

The Hardin County Safety Council is one of more than 80 across the state that partner with the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to promote the importance of workplace safety. We at BWC work closely with the council and member employers in Hardin County and we are always impressed.

I am writing to compliment our Kenton High School soccer coaching staff and team. My son just completed his first year on the KHS soccer team.
